THE PEAK PILGRIMAGE – Index of Posts
The Peak Pilgrimage is a 36 mile (39 longer route) pilgrimage along gentle hills and dales of the Peak District from Ilam to Eyam. I walked this route in early August 2018 staying overnight in Ilam, Hartington, Bakewell and arrived at Eyam on the fourth night. Somewhat shorter than my 180 or so mile gratitude pilgrimage along The Pilgrims’…
THE HERTFORDSHIRE WAY: Widford to Bishop’s Stortford
Yet again, The Hertfordshire Way did not fail to delight! On another roasting hot day in the best summer we have had since 1976 (the year between our ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels) the two walking pilgrims reminisced as they undertook the marked 10.3 miles from Widford to Bishop’s Stortford. The last leg of the walk had…
WALKING IN DORSET – JULIA BRADBURY
Wow! ITV repeated the Julia Bradbury programme on the Dorset walk featuring the iconic Colmer’s Hill and my website traffic went through the roof.

THE HERTFORDSHIRE WAY: Hertford to Widford – “It is not raining rain you know…………”
We set off on the next leg of our 60th birthday challenge along the Hertfordshire Way from the County Town on a beautiful Spring morning. Leaving behind McMullen’s Brewery amid chatter about what beers used to be served in St Albans’ old “Blue Anchor” we soon found ourselves as two lone walkers ambling alongside Goldings Canal. So quickly…
